War + Romance = Great Film!

Advantages: Great story, excellent acting and effects
Disadvantages: Just a little too long

Cold Mountain is another film which I purchased after reading a brilliant review on it and I have to say that I completely agree with the review about this film. It stars Jude Law who I always enjoy as he is very easy on the eye! Hubby was also pleased with this film choice as it was not a children’s cartoon! The film is set in North Carolina in the 1860’s when North and South America are at war. Inman, played by Jude Law is in the middle of a war ...
...make his way back to Cold Mountain and Ada but with the other men saying that deserted soldiers will be tried and treated for treason things are not looking good for Inman. Will Inman be able to return to his beloved Ada and will Ruby be able to teach Ada how to do an honest days work and to keep the farm going? When this film started I though it was going to be great as it did open with such a bang but then when we had the first flash back I did ...

Don't Bother Breaking In

Advantages: Some solid perfomances.
Disadvantages: Stodgy writing, stolid direction and unlikeable characters.

A series of break-ins at his architecture firm’s new offices in King’s Cross bring Will into contact with fifteen year-old Miro. Will’s investigations lead to him getting involved with boy’s mother Amira, a Bosnian ex-pat who works as a tailor. Meanwhile his home life is no picnic; his wife is prone to depression and her daughter has a compulsive order that has so far defied diagnosis. “Breaking and Entering” is Anthony Minghella’s third collaboration ...
...yet. It wants to be an insightful and thought-provoking contemporary drama. But instead it turns out a stodgy and self-indulgent bout of upper middle class navel-gazing. It looks slick enough most of the time, with Minghella revelling in the contrast between Will’s glossy Kensington house and the insalubrious environs of his new offices. But there are times when shots swim out of focus. The parkour that opens the movie is decent enough; competently ...

Sex and the City

Advantages: funny, great performance

Michael Patrick King is an American film director and screenplay writer. Besides Sex and the City he wrote the screenplay of ...

Review of Sex And The City - The Movie (DVD)

There's final hits and final hits. What kind is this one to be?

Advantages: One Of The Best Films To Come Out Of The UK.
Disadvantages: None!

...I first saw the film Trainspotting after hearing so much controversy about it on television, from reading about it in the newspapers and from everyone talking about it around me at the time. It was all everyone was talking about on it's release in 1996 and of course I just had to see it for myself to see what all the hype was about. Well I went to the pictures to watch this film and was quite shocked by this outrageously, yet brilliant tale of five ...
...ago that my husband purchased Trainspotting to add to our DVD collection as we both really enjoyed watching it over the years at various times on television (in a sick kind of way I guess). He picked it up second-hand for £1 at a car boot sale, so it certainly was a great bargain. This film really will not be suited to everyone though. I think you will either love it like I do, or absolutely hate it. It certainly is worth watching once though just ...
